$949.00NO SALES TAX except for Iowa addresses. FREE SHIPPING to US Lower-48. This smaller, 32mm Trinovid is just as sharp and clear as the most expensive binoculars you can buy, but it costs half as much. And it focuses as close as 3.3 feet — marvelous for hummingbirds at the feeder, or butterflies and flowers. No other high-quality binoculars will do this so well. See how it stacks up in Michael and Diane's review of midsize binoculars. Birdwatching Dot Com is an authorized Leica dealer. Learn More -

Endeavor ED IV was designed for comfort. This binocular has a newly integrated center locking diopter that allows the user to comfortably fine-tune their view settings and three-stage adjustable locking eyecups for setting the perfect eye relief. A tripod adaptor is incorporated in the front hinge for those long viewing periods or for glassing at long distances. The Endeavor ED IV’s feature the Japanese Premium Hoya ED Glass like the II’s do, but they also have SK-15 prisms which are a step up from the Bak4 prisms. FREE SHIPPING to US Lower-48 States.
